Despite countless searches at the LHC, there is still no evidence for new physics. The overwhelming majority of these searches are highly model-specific, motivated by (and optimized for) top-down considerations such as SUSY, extra dimensions, etc. This leaves a vast phase space unexplored by current searches. Could it be that we're not looking in the right places? In recent years, there has...
In this talk I will describe dark sectors made of non-abelian gauge theories with fermions neutral under the Standard Model. This leads to accidentally stable Dark Matter candidates that can be populated minimally through gravitational interactions. In the pure glue scenario DM is the lightest glueball while adding light fermions the lightest pion and baryon are the DM candidates. Despite the...
